PRINCETON'S EVOLUTION.
Going to be University in Ever
 Sense of the Word.

The opening exercises at Princeton mark a new era in its history as an educational insti- tuition. In the last fifteen years under the presidency of Dr. McCosh, Princeton has changed considerably from the old American college system of fixed curriculum ending in a Bachelors degree. The changes have been in the direction of the addition of optional studies making the course varied to suit the powers and purposes of students, but all lead- ing up to the Bachelors degree as before. The important feature of the new system is the in troduction of new studies 10 bring the insruc- tion up to the standard of Il university. It is the change from Princeton College to Prince ton University. These additional studies would too greatly crowd the ordinary college course, and the establishment of university or post graduate courses has been found neces- sary.
 The natural accompaniment of higher de- grees is also provided for, and the degrees of Ph. D., Lit. D., B. D., and D. Sc. are to be hereafter in the gift of Princeton. These postgraduate courses and the degrees at tached are to be thrown open to the graduates of all other approved American colleges.
 In furtherance of the new system a number of new fellowships are being formed, five hav- ing been established within the last three months in addition to those previously exist ing. Others are to be added. Each will give an income of from 5 100 to S5o0 to the incum- bent, and they are to be awarded after exami- nation. They are to be open to the graduates of any other American college on the condi- ton that their studies and researches are to be continued in Princeton, in whatever depart ments of study they may select The attempt at Princeton will not be to introduce distinct professional schools like those at Columbia, but to teach all branches that are taught at any university in the world.
 The foundation of biological laboratory which is to be the gift chiefly of graduates ol 1887. has been laid, and this building, well as the new art school, will be added to tho col lege during the coming year.

FLORA HUFF AND CORA BELL.
An Exciting Team Trial Made in
 Very Fast Time.

There was somewhat of a sensation on the track of the Nev York Driving Club when Major S. N. Dickinson appeared with his team of bay trotters, Flora Huff and Cora Bell, to give them trial for mile or two. He drove up to the distance stand and trotted the mares down the stretch, past the wire on around the track. They moved so easily, in fact, that Major Dickinson held the team down all the way around, and passed in under the wire at the finish of the first mile in 2.351a.
 In order to warm up nicely, the driver let them trot for second mile at an easy jog. After the team were sponged out and rubbed down Major Dickinson drove them on the track again. As they were going square and lively he nodd d for the word and let them go. They trotted like one horse to the quarter pole in 30 seconds, making the half mile in 1:09L, and then came in on strong trot up the hill.
 Mike Calvin. who was driving tho sorrel mare Sadie Bell some distance ahead, got frightened as the team came rushing toward him. They were so fast he thought it was a runaway and in his bewilderment and anxiety to escape collision with as he thought an un- manageable team, failed to hear Major Dickin- sons shout to give him the pole, and, not turning out, Major Dickinson became some what frightened himself. Things looked bad for the moment. Calvin finally pulled his line to turn out, and just had cleared when Major Dickinson swept by. It was close shave.
 The team went on handsomely. making the full mile in the fast time of 2:2214. Under the circumstances it was considered almost phenomenal, and but for the hitch the team would certainly have made the mile in 2:1S ol 2:19. As it was, it is the second best perfo m ance of the kind. Major Dickinson weighs 23l pounds, ard the time made was only once beaten by an owner of team driving his owI team, and that is the performance of the lat Vim. H. Yanderbilts Aldine and Early Rose which were driven the mile by MT. Vanderbilt in 2.15l[

RiDariaN Law COnStrueH

The Supreme Court of Connecticut has just decided an important question of riparian ownership, growing out of changes in the channel of the Connecticut River at Wethers- field. The court holds that ''All original lines submerged by the river have ceased to exist; the river is itself natural boundary, and every changing condition of the river in rela- tion to adjoining lands is treated as natural relation, and is not affected in any manner by the relations of the river and the land at any former period. Ii, after washing away the in- tervening lot it should encroach upon the re- moter lot, and should then begin to change it's movement in the other direction, gradually restoring what it had taken from the inter- vening lot, the whole, by law of secretion. would belong to the remnter but now approxi- mate lot. The river boundary is treated in all cases as natural boundary, and the rights of the parties as changing with the change of the bed" The decision establishes the ownership of large tracts of land along the Connecticut which have been made from year to year by the shifting channel of the river.

The Horse Wore Goggles.

A horse with goggles was one of the attractions of the Clinton Square market place Saturday afternoon. The Manlius farmer who owned him said he discov- cred recently that the animal was very near-sighted, and an oculist to whom he took the nag said so, too. The eye man took the necessary dimensions and, sending to New York, had pair of con- cave spectacles made expressly for Dob bin. When the farmer tried them for the first time the horse appeared to be startled, but, recovering from his sur prise, manifested every symptom of pleasure. They are made so as to be firmly fastened in the headstall, and cannot be worn without that piece of harness.
 "When turn him out to pasture, 7" said the farmer, Che feels uneasy and uncomfortable without the goggles, and last Sunday ne hung around the barn and whinneyed so plaintive like that I took out the bit and put the- headstall and goggles on him, and he was so glad that he rubbed my shoulder with his nose. Then he kicked up his heels and danced down to the pasture. You ought to have seen him. I hate to let him wear specs all the time, though, for fear he will break them. '-Syracuse Standard.

THE SEIZED SEE ALEIsS.
MT. Bayard Denies that Orders have
 been Sent for Their Release.

With regard to the statements published, alleging that Secretary Bayard had telegraphed "hs officers" in Alaska to release the selZed sealers, and that the order had not been exc cuted because the Alaskan official was not sure of the authenticity of the order, Secretary Bayard said that the despatch showed it's in correctness on it's face. Alaska is part of the United States, and consequently the State De- partmeEt has no officers whatever there, as 1t has ill foreign countries. All its knowledge of Alaskan affairs comes through other depart ments of the Government The Secretary of State would give no order to an Alaskan off, cial, nor receive information from one, except through the head of another department. With reference to that part of the despatch and of other despatches which allegc that the release of the seized sealers had been ordered, the Secretary made tho following explicit de- nial of any knowledge of any such order:
 ''There has been to my knowledge no order issued by the President for the release of any of the vessels seized this year, simply because we have no knowledge of the circumstances only know that they are in the hands of the court, and therefore will be dealt with accord ing to law. There were three cases last year in which the President saw fit to order the re- lease of three vessels seized in August, lSS6 but those are the only cases know of in which vessels were ordered to be released. That oc cured last year, and the facts were made pub lie at the time."
 The Secretary was somewhat annoyed at the criticisms which had been made upon his course with regard to the fisheries question, and particularly with reference to the Com mission. He said he had made proposal to Great Britain for settlement, and that pro- posal had been made public some time ago. He did not think the mere machinery by which an agreement was reached on the basis of his proposal of particular importance. He could not hasten the publication of the cor respondence which had since taken place. It would all be laid before Congress ill due time and be made public It would show that his efforts had been to obtain an honorable and f.i of

What a Small Boy Can Do.

It appears impossible to predict what the average small boy will do under al- most any given circumstances If he has an opportunity to work mischief. The following story from Pilot Point, Texas, serves to illustrate the point taken: Newton Tabor was digging we'll To blast out the rock he used dynamite in closed in small metallic capsules. In the course of his operations he deposited an open box of these dangerous capsules at the root of tree near where he was working. A ladder leaning against the tree reached up to mocking- birds nest containing a young brood. His ten year-old son Dick, with a couple of the capsules in his hand, ascended the lad der, and, discovering the young birds with distended mouths, boy like, drop ped the capsules, one at time, in one birds mouth. They forthwith disap- peared ill the birds craw. This rem dered the bird uncomfortable, and in 6 struggle for relief it fell from the nest. Upon striking the ground an explosion occurred which tore up the earth, dumped quantity of the loose dirt and the fragments of rock piled around into the well, and came near killing MT. Tabor, who was working down below. The boy fell from the ladder and was badly hurt, suffering the fracture of some bones. This shows what boy will do when he gets a chance.

David Knight as he Is.

Wm. Andrews, a resident of Caldwell Go. N. C., asks the press to help him catch David Knight, a Baptist minister, who has deserted his wife and twelve children and eloped with Mrs. Martha Andrews, his mother-in-law. Mir. Andrews wrote the notice himself, as follows:

A Circus all to Himself.

The old man Winans, says Balti- more correspondent, is very unpopular among his neighbors; indeed, popularity is not one Of his characteristics. Apart from engineering and shipbuilding, it is almost impossible to interest him in any serious matter. Patti's singing and the circus are the only forms of amusement he professes to like. It is related of him that once in Russia an American man. ager brought circus company to St. Petersburg, and, hearing of MT. Wi nans's fondness for the exhibitions of the sawdust ring, went to him and suggest cd that he should shell out & pretty con siderable sum for boxes. So large was the amount demanded that MT. Winans asked indignantly if he was expected to pay for the whole performance. "Well, '" answered he of the brassy cheek, II haven't the slightest objection" MT. Winens was so tickled by his ineffable impudence that he bought the whole house. On the night of the performance he presented himself with friend or two and sat out the whole thing, to the delight and amusement of the perform CTS in the ring, whom he made to ans wer his encores and act just as though there were a thousand spectators instead of two or three.

It's Wonderful Effect.

"About year ago I found myself in druggist, ''and at last got so stout as to be almost burden to myself. had no faith in the anti-fat mixtures I sold, so l began to experiment on myself with nearly every drug in the store Finally l hit on an herb that seemed to be the long sought for specific for corpulency. 1t proved so efficient in my own oase that determined to manufacture it for the benefit of suffering humanity. It had a big sale. for was a living exam pie of its worth, and sold so much more of it than anything else in the store that, when very thin man came in one day and asked for tonic to brace him up, unconsciously handed him a bottle of my anti-fat medicine. I remembered what had done the moment the man went out, but 1t was too late to remedy the mistake. For two weeks I suffered torments,
 ''Ihe poor man was as thin as a rail, and felt sure that the one bottle of the stuff would put him in his coffin. The only thing that gave me any relief was the thought that the man would read the wrapper on the bottle before using 1t and find I had made Q mistake. At the end of the fortnight the man re- turned: He looked fully fifty per cent. better than when I saw him first. With tears of gratitude in his eyes he leaned over the counter and embraced me. He was the most grateful man I ever saw. In the two weeks he had gained twenty pounds of flesh and had come to pur- chase @ full case of the medicine I suppose there was something abnormal about the man, and that he was what the medical profession term negative that is, one of peculiar constitution upon which certain drugs have con- trary effect"

Going for the Railr0ads

The following resolution was passed at a re- cent meeting of members of the New York Produce Exchanges
 WHEREAS, The railway companies have for weeks past made lower rates on shipments of grain, provisions, and lard to England and Continental ports than for shipments to sea- board cities, thereby discriminating against New York to such an extent as to destroy onr direct export trade; therefore be it
 ResoUed, That the Chairman of this meet ing be requested to appoint committee of three to apply, in behalf of the New York Produce Exchange, to the Interstate Con- merce Commissions with the proofs of the re- pestcd violations of the law and request their immediate enforcement thereof, and take such other steps Is may seem best under tho circuln- stances.
